Science In A Suitcase

Robots 🤖
New tech 💡
Kids building 🚀
And one VERY curious rhino 🦏

We loved hosting Karen Bebelaar and Jonas Zagatta of World Robot Olympiad and the incredible team from Stem Impact Center Kenya in Nanyuki for a hands-on robotics workshop with our students and teachers 💛

It was the students’ first time using the MATRIX robotics system. They have only worked with EV3 before, so getting to explore new sensors and new ways of building was a big deal. So many “wait… it can do THAT?!” moments.

We were also lucky to have our board member Robyn Emerson there to experience it all with us.

We wrapped it up with a game drive at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where a rhino decided to come say hello very up close 😅

Learning here does not stay in the classroom. That is exactly the point.
